CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 5A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Diane Hankee MEETING DATE: January 27, 2020 TOPIC: Consider Resolution 20-06, Authorize the Preparation of Plans and Specifications, Well House No. 1 Rehabilitation Project VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting council authorization to prepare plans and specifications for the Well No. 1 Rehabilitation Project. BACKGROUND On March 25, 2019, the City Council approved the preparation of the plans and specifications for the Well House No. 1 Rehabilitation project. The project includes remodeling the existing Well House No. 1, adding 2 chemical rooms, pitched roof, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, fire protection, seepage pit and associated improvements. Bids were received for the above-referenced project on Tuesday, June 18, 2019. A total of one bid was received from Municipal Builders, Inc. in the amount of $622,494.00. On July 22, 2019, the City Council passed a resolution in support of rejecting the bid with the intent to rebid the project in December 2019 or January 2020. Re-bidding the project also allowed staff to evaluate the project budget and scope. Considering the possibility of a future treatment plant, staff evaluated the cost of adding temporary and permanent chemical treatment rooms. City staff received a cost estimate of $15,000 from a vendor to install an exterior chlorine closet with heat and ventilation. This cost could possibly exceed $20,000 when additional electrical work is factored into the price. City staff does not recommend installing an exterior room, preferring to keep the treatment rooms as originally planned. The budget for the project is $625,000. Funding for the project is provided from Water Operating fund. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution 20-06, Authorize the Preparation of the Plans and Specifications, Well House No. 1 Rehabilitation Project.
